Of course Today’s Budget should be top of your list if you are looking to change your spending habits, be debt-free and increase your net worth.  But, there are also some stellar blogs out there by people from all walks of life who have found there way into piles of debt.  

Like me, each brings their own story, pain and financial frustrations to their blog.   All of us bring secret weapons to share - acknowledgment of the situation, innovative ways to attack debt, techniques such as snowballing payments and …. financial goals.

Here are some of my favorites

In Debt Because I Like Nice Things
Follow Twiggers in her adventure of shedding over $65,000 in credit card debt.  Learn how she got there (hint:  $20k of charges for Louis Vuitton bags in one year).  Watch her monthly plan of attack, updates and her snowball payment plan which is working.  Go Twiggers!

Bouncing Back from Bankruptcy
Bankrupt Betty’s journey through bankruptcy.  How she’s managing the process and what’s she’s doing to reclaim her life and sanity. 

We Need To Be Debt Free
Following this couple is a must read.  If you have kids and are stressed about debt and the future, here’s a family that can relate.

Single Guy Money
Point-blank, I like his goal of wanting to be free of all non-mortgage debt by 2009. 

Beachgirl’s Budget Blog
You have to love Beachgirl!  She’s heading to law school, is watching every expense, tracking and paying down debt and smart about looking for extra cash.  

The Budgeting Babe
Nicole is a working girl in Chicago on a budget.  What working girl doesn’t like nice things… Sex in the City on a Simpson’s budget.

My Debt Journey
I was thrilled to find this blog as it mirrors my own life and situation.  A debt blog about a family in their 30’s struggling with $75,000 in credit card debt and a possible foreclosure on the horizon. 

There are many more personal finance blogs out there.  I picked the above because I enjoy reading them, they are updated daily (or near-daily) and hey, I can relate! 

Word to the wise…there are blogs out there known as “link farms” - sites setup with copies of news, other’s blog content with ads for the sole purpose of getting you from the search engine and wanting you to click on ads.  Avoid these if you hit them.
